Established in 1947, Shreyas operates as a special experimental school (Khas Sanstha, by Govt. resolution) on a 28-acre wooded campus since 1961. Classes start from pre-kindergarten to 7th Grade and a Secondary school from 8th grade to 10th grade in both English and Gujarati mediums.

Founders: Smt. Manorama Sarabhai and Smt. Leena Sarabhai

First President: Madam Maria Montessori.

Shreyas was subsequently presided over by Sarladevi Sarabhai and Mrs. Leena Sarabhai.

The word ‘Shreyas’ has a deep meaning, which is analogous to well-being, beneficial, blessed.

The welfare, spiritual growth and character building of a child are deep-rooted in the foundation of Shreyas. The institute is devoted to holistic development, value-based education and the wellbeing of children.

Shreyas was designed by the famous architect Shri Balkrishna Doshi. Later, additional buildings were constructed by Shri Kamal Mangaldas.
